Frank Schilling interview and latest headlines

DomainReport.ca - Though there isn't much in the way of news in .ca domains lately, there has been a lot happening in the overall domaining world.

The biggest news I've seen lately is that Paul Sloan, a writer who has written extensively on the domain and internet markets, has a new website, www.PlayingTheAngles.com .

One of the first articles he posted was an interview with Frank Schilling. I enjoyed Frank's blog at SevenMile.com while it lasted, and hadn't heard much about what he's been doing lately, other than reports of experimenting with his landing pages. The interview gives some current views that Frank has about the domain market and is a great read. You can find the interview here:

Here are some other headlines on domains in the past while that are worth reporting:

- WoodPellets.com sells for $115,000 US at Sedo.com

- Call.com sells for $1,100,000 US

- Christian.com sells for $600,000 US

- Release of .CM domains generate over $2,000,000 in auctions

- ProteinBars.com sells at Namejet auction for $56,900

- The decline in PPC revenues is again a hot topic among domainers

- Sedo reports more than $15 million in domain sales in second quarter '09

- Rick Schwartz released some of his domain sales in recent weeks, which included PunchBowl.com (six figures + considerations) and ChinaTours.com ($200,000).

Looking at those headlines you wouldn't know the world is in an economic downturn.
